A Question of Design
ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS:
Anticipate, plan, get started... casaGURU's home design guru Cheryll Gillespie answers a homeowner's question about where to get started when designing and decorating a new home.
Recently I received an interesting question from one of my readers on how to start a design project. A simple question that many have asked themselves when looking at a target room, so I thought it would be good to share it will everyone.
“Hello, Cheryll. I love your column and I always rush to get the Sunday paper to read it.
My husband and I are building a bungalow (2100 sq. ft with bonus room over garage) and I will be purchasing all new furniture and accessories as the furniture we have now will be hitting the basement. I am at the stage now where I have to choose everything from paint color to flooring. I am just wondering where to start? Do I choose to paint colors and counter tops, etc. first or should I find a couch and accessories that I like first and then work around that to choose the wall colors? I have consulted with an interior designer previously and we gathered all the color samples that I liked and it seemed to come to the rich golds, soft beiges and deep red. Any suggestions how to start or where to start?
Thank you so much,
Tammy”
”Hi Tammy,
Welcome to the world of design. First don’t panic, this is actually one of the most enjoyable stages of your decorating project; no work just a lot of planning and eager anticipation.
